Will be the glass half full or half empty? Will this system, policy, strategy work or fail? Can I really achieve my dreams or are we living in fantasy-land?

difference between optimistic and pessimistic
These and hundreds of other questions are asked every single day by well meaning and difficult employees.
Lionel Tiger as part of his great book, Optimism, the Biology of Hope, written over 40 years ago discusses how optimism impacts a person’s attitudes, outlook, success and health. He shows that those people who are less optimistic about life, the present as well as the future tend to get sick with greater regularity and often die sooner. In the book, Learned Optimism by Segleman, he discusses how each of us begins every project, activity, task, relationship, career etc. with the YES or a NO or a YES I’m able to and i’ll or NO I can’t and i also won’t inside their hearts.
You cannot measure optimism. You can’t bottle it, regulate it, exhaust it or manufacture it but you can learn how to develop it as it were only take the time and effort. Some individuals feel it is best to become realistic than optimistic – why start trading for disappointment? Tell me what exactly is realistic? In hindsight in the last A century. Where would we be if: Edison, Bell, Gates, Ford, Land, Disney etall. were realistic? If their attitude had been, it hasn’t been done yet therefore i guess it wouldn’t be achieved!

There are many good things about having an optimistic outlook. And simply as many pitfalls in without having one. Here are some with the benefits.
Benefits:
You will get more tasks completed, you should have more pleasurable. you will be happier, you will have more friends, you may enjoy life more, you will be healthier.
Pitfalls:

The pessimists around the globe will laugh, smile as well as gloat once your optimism appears to give you no real obvious benefits. But it’s impossible to determine the hidden payback that won’t be evident to society but is a known is likely to mind and heart.

In case you are wondering, questioning or challenging my thinking here I’ll provide you with a concept. Should i be positive and optimistic about something that i’m wrong, what have I lost. In case you are negative or pessimistic about something and you are right what have you gained?

In the long run it really isn’t about whether we had been wrong or right, negative or positive or optimistic or pessimistic. The thing that matters is did we live a peaceful, happy and contented life with whatever views we held.
